DISMOUNT DETECTION RADAR

Abstract

The Dismount Detection Radar (DDR) project develops and demonstrates Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) capability for MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) and other manned or unmanned aircraft. DDR will provide a persistent GMTI capability for the detection, tracking, and classification of vehicles and dismounts, to include associated Tasking Processing Exploitation and Dissemination (TPED) capabilities. DDR help fulfill a portion of the sponsoring combatant command and Central Command (CENTCOM) current dismount detection requirements. The DDR program will initially develop sensors for the MQ-9 and includes development of the required training, maintenance and fielding plans to support a working architecture. Activities within this project also include studies and analysis supporting current and future program planning and tech development for dismount detection sensors and capabilities. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production fielding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
